Okay, here's the deal: I found this website and it has an incredible rate for a London hotel (in Bayswater). I was wondering if anyone has heard of Pembridge Palace or if anyone has had any dealings with discountcityhotels.com. Thanks!

I stayed at a hotel in Pembridge Square in Bayswater in April and May. The name was Blue Bells Hotel. This is a nice area, not far from Hyde Park, and I would go back. I can't remember seeing the Pembridge Palace, but there are a number of small hotels within several blocks. I think the price per night was 60 pounds. I have stayed in the same type of hotel several times and found them satisfactory--small, friendly, clean, no frills. I recommend the Orchard Hotel, also, can't remember the address.

Thanks Judy! I've been researching the area and feel comfortable about my choice (over the weekend I booked the hotel). It cost me 29 pounds a night, which is only 35% of the total costs. You can imagine I was a little worried about what I'd get for that price. But is there anyone out there who's stayed there? It looks like the hotel is a lot of townhomes that have been gutted and put together. I was just curious. Thanks!

Jess: Also checked the rate for January at Pembridge Place and would hope someone out there knows about the place. The rate for Jan. was 50 pounds for a double. Checked the web site in has some very good prices.

Mike-<BR><BR>Did you go to discountcityhotels.com? I've been looking for months now for affordable prices for lodging for one person and this is the first site that I could actually afford some of the better places. I'll have to see though how good that site really is when I get to London.

We also can get a good rate. What is this hotel like? Has anyone stayed here?
Thanks in advance

It gets awful reviews on Tripadvisor.

This hotel has the worst reviews I have ever seen. It looks like it should be closed as a public health hazard. I would really question any recommendations from a source that suggested you stay here.

Even in London there are much better super budget options - perhaps a hostel or a B&amp;B in the suburbs?

According to the reviews on Trip Advisor, it would be a sensible thing to stay away from this hotel!
